Sort Lists

A sort list contains a list of animal ID’s, each with a sor ng

assignment. This assignment may be used to separate animals into

predeﬁ ned groups, or to ﬂ ag speciﬁ c animals for selec on.

The Sort Lists screen shows all the sor ng lists available on the

reader. These lists are imported from APS.

1. From the Main Menu, select Sort Lists and

press

Note: The sort list ‘Empty List’ is the factory default and contains
